Maybe we should pass -a to diff so that it displays the difference even
if it thinks the file is binary.
Unfortunately not portable:

$ /usr/bin/diff -a foo bar
/usr/bin/diff: illegal option -- a
        usage: diff [ -C n ] [ -S name ] [ -bcefhilnrstw ] dir1 dir2
                diff [-C n ] [ -bcefhintw ] file1 file2
                diff [ -D string ] [ -biw ] file1 file2

I'll bet /usr/bin/make pukes on PostgreSQL make files there too ;-)




So what? We have an explicit dependency on GNU make, but not on GNU diffutils. We try quite hard to keep the list of dependencies down.
